E-Mail
Now I mainly use hotmail, I also have a gmail account but that just seems to gets lots of spam. I was wondering if anyone has any better alternatives?
Or should I just signup a new gmail account?

Re: E-Mail
Probably because I used it to signup for stupid shit, like basically every website ever.
But I want an email like gmail but well something where I can have say sgreen@ or sjgreen@ etc with quite a decent and respectable mail client like gmail etc

Re: E-Mail
I sign up to nothing with gmail and get loads of spam, which 99.9% of goes to the spam folder. It's pretty good but my main account is Yahoo! as it always has been.

I'm not really, I just want an email that looks professional and stuff and does the job, mainly one which isn't used by many but is recognised and where I can get my name eg sjgreen@
I was going to get a @mac.com one but you have to pay for that, I might still do that though ;(

Exactly, I've got for example one account I do my main e-mailing with for friends, family and other semi serious situations and another one for registration purposes on all kinds of crappy websites when needed.

Re: E-Mail
I only have one and it's my hotmail account and it's served me very nicely for the last 10 or so years.

Re: E-Mail
I use the email I got from my ISP as my main. Also got a gmail and a hotmail account.
Used to get like 20-30 spam mails on hotmail before, but after I clicked the mails and went to bottom, I could click a link saying "Remove me" or something. That apparantly removed me from many lists I got no idea how I was signed up to, so now I only have to deal with 2-3 spam mails per day.

And get a new gmail account and don't use it to sign up to loads of shite.

Yeah, buying a domain with email capability is quite easy. You can even do via google. You can also use all google's tools as well if you do that.

I'd probably look down on someone with a hotmail e-mail address personally, especially if I were hiring for a job that had anything to do with computers. You should be fine with gmail or yahoo though.

I don't really want a job at the kind of place that judges someone on the second part of their e-mail address.

Having a hotmail adres as your personal primary e-mail account screams bad taste and shows a lack of feeling for better products which isn't really an indicator for being a winner at life!

I'd sort of agree with this, although it would be quickly overcome if they had typed everything properly, avoided AOLisms and so on. For anything business related I prefer to use [email protected] or a personal domain. One of the annoying things about hotmail is that it (or used to) restricts you from using fullstops, which means having to put in things like joe_bloggs which doesn't look as neat. I'd tend to view Yahoo in a similar light to Hotmail though, and I guess Gmail will go the same way due to some subconscious elitism.
I'd be more hostile to Hotmail but I know at least one person who has kept his Hotmail account since way back when and he's a professional programmer.

Re: E-Mail
It just depends which part of the body you are intending to train. I do the db rows with the elbow close to the torso pulling the weight up to my chest to emphazise my lats. Actually I never noticed the variant you are showing me. It looks like this one to me http://exrx.net/WeightExercises/Delt...prightRow.html which I use frequently.
The second animation is a very much used front shoulder exercise.
